GLOFIL-125: Package Insert and Label Information (Page 2 of 2)
Radiation Dosimetry
The estimated absorbed radiation doses to an average (70 kg) patient from an intravenous dose of 100 μCi (3.7 megabecquerels) of GLOFIL® -125 are shown in Table 4. Calculations assume that there is 1% free iodide in the preparation and that the thyroid uptake of the iodine is 25%.

Visual Inspection
Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit.
HOW SUPPLIED
Identity
No. 1000, GLOFIL® -125 is a clear, colorless, sterile, and nonpyrogenic solution available as a 4 mL vial. It is supplied in a concentration of approximately 1 mg/mL sodium iothalamate (range is 0.5–2.0 mg sodium iothalamate per mL), with a radioactivity concentration of 250 to 300 μCi/mL at the time of calibration. Benzyl alcohol 0.9%, is added as a preservative. Sodium bicarbonate and hydrochloric acid are added for pH adjustment. The calibration and expiration dates are shown on the label.
Storage
Refrigerate the product upon receipt at 2°C to 8°C.
Dose Volume Calculation
Table 3 provides the required factors for the determination of activity per mL post calibration date for GLOFIL® -125 sterile solution.
To determine the dose volume, locate the decay factor (fraction remaining) which corresponds to the day that the dose is to be administered. The following equation is then utilized to determine the dose volume:
(activity of desired dose) /[(decay factor) x (amount of activity/mL on calibration day)] = dose volume (mL) (information on label)
